Real-time quantitative PCR assay for analysis of platelet glycoprotein IIIa gene expression 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A quantitative detection assay for analysis of platelet glycoprotein GPIIIa gene expression is presented. The assay uses two fluorescently labeled TaqMan MGB probes to detect the polymorphic site in GPIIIa nucleotide sequence, leading to antigens HPA-1a and HPA-1b. In order to avoid the influence of DNA contamination on RNA quantification, a forward primer was constructed to span an exon-exon junction. The assay is therefore applicable to expression studies also in samples containing only a small amount of contaminating DNA. To standardize the amount of sample cDNA added to the reaction, amplification of endogenous control 18SrRNA was included in a separate well. The amplification validation experiment showed a high real-time PCR efficiency for HPA-1a, HPA-1b and 18SrRNA. Relative quantification was therefore performed using the comparative C(T) method. The assay was optimized on a reversely transcribed total RNA from platelets, and the specificity rate was determined by sequencing. The amount of cDNA at which amplification was still clearly detectable was 5 ng. This newly developed real-time quantitative PCR assay is a sensitive, reproducible and reliable method. It is suitable for studying different stages of megakaryopoiesis, monitoring molecular alteration in defective platelets and determining differences in the GPIIIa expression level between normal and pathological megakaryocytic differentiation pathways. 相似文献

Quantitative real-time PCR represents a highly sensitive and powerful technique for the quantitation of nucleic acids. It has a tremendous potential for the high-throughput analysis of gene expression in research and routine diagnostics. However, the major hurdle is not the practical performance of the experiments themselves but rather the efficient evaluation and the mathematical and statistical analysis of the enormous amount of data gained by this technology, as these functions are not included in the software provided by the manufacturers of the detection systems. In this work, we focus on the mathematical evaluation and analysis of the data generated by quantitative real-time PCR, the calculation of the final results, the propagation of experimental variation of the measured values to the final results, and the statistical analysis. We developed a Microsoft Excel-based software application coded in Visual Basic for Applications, called Q-Gene, which addresses these points. Q-Gene manages and expedites the planning, performance, and evaluation of quantitative real-time PCR experiments, as well as the mathematical and statistical analysis, storage, and graphical presentation of the data. The Q-Gene software application is a tool to cope with complex quantitative real-time PCR experiments at a high-throughput scale and considerably expedites and rationalizes the experimental setup, data analysis, and data management while ensuring highest reproducibility. 相似文献

Real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis of human bone marrow stromal cells during osteogenic differentiation in vitro 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

We developed and used real-time RT-PCR assays to investigate how the expression of typical osteoblast-related genes by human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) is regulated by (i) the culture time in medium inducing osteogenic differentiation and (ii) the previous expansion in medium enhancing cell osteogenic commitment. BMSC from six healthy donors were expanded in medium without (CTR) or with fibroblast growth factor-2 and dexamethasone (FGF/Dex; these factors are known to increase BMSC osteogenic commitment) and further cultivated for up to 20 days with ascorbic acid, beta-glycerophosphate and dexamethasone (these factors are typically used to induce BMSC osteogenic differentiation). Despite a high variability in the gene expression levels among different individuals, we identified the following statistically significant patterns. The mRNA levels of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), bone sialo protein-II (BSP), osteopontin (OP) and to a lower extent cbfa-1 increased with culture time in osteogenic medium (OM), both in CTR- and FGF/Dex-expanded BMSC, unlike levels of alkaline phosphatase, collagen type I, osteocalcin, and osteonectin. After 20 days culture in OM, BMP-2, BSP, and OP were more expressed in FGF/Dex than in CTR-expanded BMSC (mRNA levels were, respectively, 9.5-, 14.9-, and 5.8-fold higher), unlike all the other investigated genes. Analysis of single-colony-derived strains of BMSC further revealed that after 20 days culture in OM, only a subset of FGF/Dex-expanded clones expressed higher mRNA levels of BMP-2, BSP, and OP than CTR-expanded clones. In conclusion, we provide evidence that mRNA levels of BMP-2, BSP, and OP, quantified using real-time RT-PCR, can be used as markers to monitor the extent of BMSC osteogenic differentiation in vitro; using those markers, we further demonstrated that only a few subpopulations of BMSC display enhanced osteogenic differentiation following FGF/Dex expansion. 相似文献

Fungal effector–host sensitivity gene interactions play a key role in determining the outcome of septoria nodorum blotch disease (SNB) caused by Parastagonospora nodorum on wheat. The pathosystem is complex and mediated by interaction of multiple fungal necrotrophic effector–host sensitivity gene systems. Three effector sensitivity gene systems are well characterized in this pathosystem; SnToxA–Tsn1, SnTox1–Snn1 and SnTox3–Snn3. We tested a wheat mapping population that segregated for Snn1 and Snn3 with SN15, an aggressive P. nodorum isolate that produces SnToxA, SnTox1 and SnTox3, to study the inheritance of sensitivity to SnTox1 and SnTox3 and disease susceptibility. Interval quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping showed that the SnTox1–Snn1 interaction was paramount in SNB development on both seedlings and adult plants. No effect of the SnTox3–Snn3 interaction was observed under SN15 infection. The SnTox3–Snn3 interaction was however, detected in a strain of SN15 in which SnTox1 had been deleted (tox1–6). Gene expression analysis indicates increased SnTox3 expression in tox1–6 compared with SN15. This indicates that the failure to detect the SnTox3–Snn3 interaction in SN15 is due – at least in part – to suppressed expression of SnTox3 mediated by SnTox1. Furthermore, infection of the mapping population with a strain deleted in SnToxA, SnTox1 and SnTox3 (toxa13) unmasked a significant SNB QTL on 2DS where the SnTox2 effector sensitivity gene, Snn2, is located. This QTL was not observed in SN15 and tox1–6 infections and thus suggesting that SnToxA and/or SnTox3 were epistatic. Additional QTLs responding to SNB and effectors sensitivity were detected on 2AS1 and 3AL. 相似文献

Changes in plant gene expression during stress 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Changes in gene expression which occur during periods of environmentally induced stress provide models for the study of gene regulation. Several types of stress have been shown to elicit a specific and reproducible pattern of gene expression in various plant species. These stress factors include heat shock, anaerobiosis, plant pathogens, oxygen free radicals, heavy metals, water stress, and chilling. In some cases, changes in specific genes have been identified, such as increases in the expression of the gene encoding the phytoalexin-synthesizing enzyme in pathogen elicitor-treated cells. However, in most cases, the functional identity of stress-induced genes is unknown. The alterations in gene expression during stress usually are rapid and repeatable, making these genetic systems ideal for examination of factors and mechanisms involved in gene regulation. 相似文献

The role of plant defence proteins in fungal pathogenesis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
RICARDO B. FERREIRA SARA MONTEIRO REGINA FREITAS CLÁUDIA N. SANTOS ZHENJIA CHEN LUÍS M. BATISTA JOÃO DUARTE ALEXANDRE BORGES ARTUR R. TEIXEIRA 《Molecular Plant Pathology》2007,8(5):677-700
It is becoming increasingly evident that a plant–pathogen interaction may be compared to an open warfare, whose major weapons are proteins synthesized by both organisms. These weapons were gradually developed in what must have been a multimillion-year evolutionary game of ping-pong. The outcome of each battle results in the establishment of resistance or pathogenesis. The plethora of resistance mechanisms exhibited by plants may be grouped into constitutive and inducible, and range from morphological to structural and chemical defences. Most of these mechanisms are defensive, exhibiting a passive role, but some are highly active against pathogens, using as major targets the fungal cell wall, the plasma membrane or intracellular targets. A considerable overlap exists between pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and antifungal proteins. However, many of the now considered 17 families of PR proteins do not present any known role as antipathogen activity, whereas among the 13 classes of antifungal proteins, most are not PR proteins. Discovery of novel antifungal proteins and peptides continues at a rapid pace. In their long coevolution with plants, phytopathogens have evolved ways to avoid or circumvent the plant defence weaponry. These include protection of fungal structures from plant defence reactions, inhibition of elicitor-induced plant defence responses and suppression of plant defences. A detailed understanding of the molecular events that take place during a plant–pathogen interaction is an essential goal for disease control in the future. 相似文献

We describe here a quantitative real-time PCR assay for the detection of single-base-pair differences that does not require fluorescently labeled gene-specific probes or complicated primer combinations. Following PCR or RT-PCR of a gene segment that may contain allele-specific differences, 100 pg amplified product are used for a real-time PCR with allele-specific primers and SYBR Green. The use of HEPES buffer at a pH of 6.95 together with AmpliTaq DNA polymerase results in a threshold difference between the correct template and the mismatched template of as many as 20 cycles, depending on the mismatch. Correct matches can be detected in an excess of mismatched template at least at the 0.01 level for the six primer-template matches versus mismatches tested: GC vs. A.C, AT vs. G.T, GC vs. C.C, GC vs. G.G, AT vs. C.T, and GC vs. G.A. Because the initial amplification is separate from real-time detection, conditions can be independently optimized for each step, making the assay particularly suitable for the detection of allele-specific expression in single cells. 相似文献

Summary A major pathogen of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) is the potato cyst nematode (Globodera spp.), which induces localized redifferentiation of a limited number of host cells to form a specialized feeding-site termed the syncytium. A novel strategy utilizing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was employed to construct a cDNA library from dissected potato roots highly enriched in syncytial material. The library was differentially screened with cDNA probes derived from the infected root tissue from a compatible interaction and from healthy root tissue. Characterization of one gene identified by the library screen indicated an expression pattern that correlated with events in the immediate vicinity of the pathogen after syncytial establishment. The strategy for library construction and screening could be applicable to the study of gene expression in any plant-pathogen interaction in which the limited supply of cells at the interface of the two organisms precludes a more traditional approach. 相似文献

Abstract A simple technique which enables the monitoring of fungal growth with the aid of a microplate reader is described. In the absorbance range of 0 to 0.6 units, a straight-line relationship exists between absorbance at 595 nm and dry weight of microplate cultures, indicating that culture absorbance is an accurate indicator of fungal biomass. The relative standard deviation of the absorbance measurements was low (typically between 2 and 6%) when spores were used for inoculum. With inoculi consisting of mycelial fragments, slightly higher standard deviations (ca. 10%) were found. The microplate reader technique is particularly suited for determination of growth inhibition curves, since it is extremely fast, reliable, and requires as little as 75 μl of total culture volume. 相似文献

Evidently, epigenetics is at forefront in explaining the mechanisms underlying the success of human pathogens and in the identification of pathogen‐induced modifications within host plants. However, there is a lack of studies highlighting the role of epigenetics in the modulation of the growth and pathogenicity of fungal plant pathogens. In this review, we attempt to highlight and discuss the role of epigenetics in the regulation of the growth and pathogenicity of fungal phytopathogens using Magnaporthe oryzae, a devastating fungal plant pathogen, as a model system. With the perspective of wide application in the understanding of the development, pathogenesis and control of other fungal pathogens, we attempt to provide a synthesized view of the epigenetic studies conducted on M. oryzae to date. First, we discuss the mechanisms of epigenetic modifications in M. oryzae and their impact on fungal development and pathogenicity. Second, we highlight the unexplored epigenetic mechanisms and areas of research that should be considered in the near future to construct a holistic view of epigenetic functioning in M. oryzae and other fungal plant pathogens. Importantly, the development of a complete understanding of the modulation of epigenetic regulation in fungal pathogens can help in the identification of target points to combat fungal pathogenesis. 相似文献

Due to the relative small number of bacterial pathogens present in an infected host, exploration of pathogen gene expression in vivo is challenging. This study reports the development of a protocol for quantifying bacterial gene expression in vivo in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae using laser capture microdissection and real-time quantitative RT-PCR. 相似文献
